I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Westy sure am glad you made a great recovery. depresion is no fun. my wife went thur it a few yers ago. it effects the whole family. the main thing is never ever give up. and you didnt. now go shoot a few targets and say THANK YOU LORD.

Thanks Guys and to think they said hard work would never kill you!!!! When your a workaholic the next step is depression,as they told me when was the last time you saw a hurst with a U-Haul behind it????? And now you all know why Westy is a semi retired gentleman at 45!!!!!He now only works 1\2 days ????He gets to choose which 12 hours I'm now up for a Folgers and wave at the people going bye
